MY REALITY HAS BEEN SUSPENDED

Every now and then I get tired of “realistic” photographs and I start playing with hand-coloring photographs, photographic constructions and other manipulations. As spring progresses, I suppose that I will be attracted back to flowers, trees, birds and their kin but, for a few weeks at least, all rules are off.

Once more, I suggest viewing it full screen by clicking the expand arrows <-> in the bottom right of the frame. To return to regular view hit the expand arrows again or, hit escape.

Yep, the photos are mine. I use “polar coordinates” in Photoshop. Basically you grab each end of the horizon and loop or twist the together. It takes a while to get the hang of what type of photo work best. Then all that is left is to clean up any unwanted artifacts of the process and add a few post tweaks. It isn’t difficult. I would be happy to walk you through it if you wish.
